It's very, very important to me, no matter who the person is, to play that person with the utmost degree of truth that I'm able to bring. But playing a character like Jack Sparrow or Willy Wonka, that requires nothing but a degree of responsibility to the intent of the story - responsibility to the film-maker to deliver the goods.

Tell me not of joy: there's none Now my little sparrow's gone; He, just as you, Would toy and woo, He would chirp and flatter me, He would hang the wing awhile, Till at length he saw me smile, Lord! how sullen he would be!

When sparrows build and the leaves break forth, My old sorrow wakes and cries.

You had to feel the swell change. You had to go with the change. He told me that. No eye is on the sparrow but he did tell me that.

"Sparrows and cats will live in my shoe

It is not only in dreams ? that we find ourselves facing what is yet to be, in what was long forgotten, and speaking what seems nonsense because we will not see its meaning" - Sparrowhawk

Our Father who art in nature, who has given the gift of survival to the coyote, the common brown rat, the English sparrow, the house fly and the moth, must have a great and overwhelming love for no-goods and blots-on-the-town and bums, and Mack and the boys. Virtues and graces and laziness and zest. Our Father who art in nature.

The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard, who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by 'God,' one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.

The moment a little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing.
